Chapter 544: The Most Mysterious Race in the World
How could he possibly relinquish this right? Even if he wanted to, he wouldn't have that authority!
Old Mo smiled and said, "I'm sorry, Governor, I think you didn't understand what I meant. What I meant was, I want a monopoly."
Do you know what a monopoly is? It means I want not only the rights to the engraving and printing press, but also the rights to the Federal Reserve.
The Federal Reserve's power is extremely important.
The Printing Department is only responsible for printing and engraving. How much to print is up to the Federal Reserve.
He tells you to print 100 million, so you have to print 100 million, no more, no less.
If this right is also handed over, and Old Mo prints money like crazy, then inflation will occur, their currency will collapse, foreigners will not recognize it, and it will become worthless.
Even if Lao Mo doesn't print like crazy, but prints a little more, that still won't work!
Therefore, this is the bottom line, and it cannot be handed over.
Of course, Merkel could choose not to have this right of the Federal Reserve. But if he did, the extra money he printed would not be recognized, because each bill would have a serial number.
What? You mean reprinting? Old Mo wouldn't dare do that. If a large number of duplicate serial numbers appeared, the currency would collapse immediately, which would be even more terrifying than printing too much.
Bellek's face turned green.
"Your Highness, this is something we really can't do recklessly. You know I don't have that authority!"
Old Mo smiled and said casually, "I definitely need this right. How about this? I'll compromise: the Federal Reserve can make a plan, and I'll make a plan based on my gold reserves."
Then, I printed it exactly according to both parties' plans. See, is that alright? I have a large amount of gold here; it can't be wasted, right?
Bellek and the other executives really didn't know what to say.
It's one thing for their country to print money, but why does your country, Sir, have to do the same?
Old Mo laughed and said, "Don't worry, I definitely won't do anything reckless. If I cause your currency to collapse, then there's no point in me taking this power, right?"
Bellek said weakly, "Your Highness, this is the foundation of our nation. Are you going to steal it too?"
Old Mo chuckled, "Governor, do you not trust me? If I wanted to deal with you, it wouldn't be necessary to go through all this trouble, would it?"
Bellek was on the verge of tears.
"Your Highness, it's not a matter of whether I trust you or not. The problem is, your proposal won't pass at the meeting!"
Old Mo laughed and said, "What's so difficult about this? Leave the work to me, and you can focus on your development. Isn't that better?"
Bellek and his high-ranking subordinates were speechless. They wanted to object, but they lacked the confidence to do so!
Old Mo's smile vanished, and he said seriously, "Everyone, I'm here today to inform you, not to discuss anything with you."
I'm giving you three days to get this sorted out. If you can't, I'll physically eliminate you.
The fact that I'm sitting here and talking to you all this way is a favor. If you don't appreciate this kindness, then I'll have no choice but to take tougher measures.
Okay. That's all for today! I'm busy, I have to go now.
After Old Mo finished speaking, he and Princess Anne stood up together, and the people Old Mo brought with him also stood up.
Bellek and his men looked at each other, their faces ashen.
They wanted to resist, but could they resist?
Old Mo said that if they didn't agree, he would physically eliminate them.
They never dared to doubt Old Mo's words.
They fought back then, and lost miserably. They even lost to District 51.
Even though they were so powerful back then, they still suffered a crushing defeat. Now, they have even less right to resist.
After Lao Mo left, they remained seated there, silent for a long time.
In the end, it was Bellek who spoke.
"Everyone, what do you think?"
In fact, all those in power are here; having a meeting here is the same as having a meeting back home.
One of the higher-ups said, "Sigh. We can't win. Besides giving in, do we have any other choice?"
At this moment, a senior member of the Morgan family stood up and said, "Our patriarch will never agree to this. Are you sure you want to agree?"
This person is Morgan Elke, a high-ranking member of the Morgan family and the current U.S. Treasury Secretary.
The Morgan family is the richest family in the world, bar none.
Their family has been in power for centuries, controlling the entire American economy since the founding of the United States. They now also control the world's largest bank, Morgan Stanley.
The Morgan family may not concern themselves with other matters, but when it comes to money, they have to take charge.
"Mr. Elke," Bellek said helplessly, "why didn't you say so earlier if you disagreed?"
Morgan Elke retorted angrily, "This isn't just about me; it concerns the interests of the entire nation. I truly didn't expect you to compromise so quickly. Tell me, how can our people still trust you?"
Bellek said, "Stop using the people as an excuse. If we had the right to object, would I not object? The question is, where do we get that right?"
"Morgan Elke, if your Morgan family doesn't agree to this, then we'll have to ask your patriarch to personally negotiate with the Prince of Hong Kong. Saying anything else is pointless."
"Okay. I'll go back and inform our old man right away."
Morgan Elke said helplessly.
In a dark castle lived the most powerful man in the Morgan family, Morgan Elke's grandfather, Morgan Clayker.
You could say he's a person, but he isn't really; you could say he's not a person, but he is.
Because it is the most mysterious group in the world, called the vampires.
What are vampires? Simply put, they are zombies. A type of creature that can live for thousands of years.
These creatures fear sunlight; under the sun, they will be exposed to the heat until their bodies emit smoke, and eventually they will dissipate into the world.
Therefore, although this creature can live for thousands of years, it does not have much of an advantage.
Because they sleep during the day and only come out at night, just like rats hiding in the gutter.
Klek is one of the best among the vampires, having lived for over a thousand years.
This family doesn't fight for power, only for profit. Through thousands of years of accumulation, they have become the richest family in the world.
They don't fight for power because it's inconvenient for them to go out during the day.
People like Morgan Elke aren't actually true vampires. They're just representatives of the vampires, ordinary humans recruited by them, the kind who help out during the day.
How terrifying is a creature that can live for thousands of years? Just thinking about it is terrifying.
It's only natural that they became the richest family in the world.
